To minimize contaminated comb you might have the package bees start out with a narrow ribbed strip on the top bars and have the bees located in an area free of agricultural/manufacturing pursuits. Have a source of sugar syrup available if nectar sources are unavailable.

Of course, you would first have to find some foundation free of
